TICKETS Join us for the premiere of “Mr. Yanagi’s Aliens” – the year’s stupidest sci-fi-ish buddy comedy! A low-budget love letter to schlocky genre-bending B-movies, the movie was independently produced by two Colorado filmmakers with scenes shot around Boulder and Longmont.
SYNOPSIS:
Alex and Aamuro are two film school burnouts without many prospects. After hearing about reported alien sightings in Minnesota, they decide to bet everything on one final documentary before giving up on their dreams of making movies. While in the middle of nowhere, they cross paths with their hero, an eclectic Japanese monster-movie director named Mr. Yanagi, whose suspicious involvement makes the story run deeper than they initially thought.
The first screening at 6PM will be preceded by a showing of the short film “Now vs. Then”, directed by local filmmaker John Williams at 5:30PM.
The second screening at 8PM will be followed by a Q&A with the directors Alex Buysse and Aamuro Kanda, moderated by John Williams.
